Default Marker lights on roof issue

I was replacing one of the lights when by mistake my screw driver touched the inside where the bulb inserts and all five of the lights stopped working. I checked every fuse possible and bought additional bulbs. Test light will not work on the unit, i'm so frustrated any and all advice please.
Thank You

You created a short circuit. There has to be a blown fuse. Did you check both fuse boxes? There could also be a blown fusible link in the circuit.

I did check both boxes. The fusible link? Is that a separate fuse in the wiring, if so I thought about that but don't know where to look

Its a fused part of the wire that acts like a fuse. If it is blown it needs to be replaced. I don't know for a fact that you have a fusible link, but maybe. Did you test all of the fuses or do a visual check?

I used a test light and pulled some fusses that were some possibilities all were fine. There is a box on the firewall on the driver side that has wiring leading to it, it appears that the wiring could be comming from the lights on the roof. I appreciate your help would rather not pay the dealership to figure it out.

I missed a fuse while testing it was the (int prk) 15 amp fuse on the interior fuse box. After finding the fuse I also had to replace the assembly that the bulb goes into. Had to go to dealership for it, thank you for the help

Glad you got it fixed, but I think you had it right in the first post with all the mad faces representing the light configuration....
